The Tulsa Food Blog

Last week my dad was in town so I wanted to treat him to one of Tulsa’s finest homemade meals. From my experience there are many exceptional homemade meals in Tulsa but this one had to be special and since we where craving breakfast at one in the afternoon Shiloh’s Restaurant, off the Broken Arrow [...]

Just as much as I consider spring and summer to be a season for BBQ’n and many other opportunities that Tulsa has to offer, I also consider it to be an awesome season for enjoying breakfast and brunch. Just imagine with me for a second stepping outside for the first time, you can feel the [...]

There is just something about the name that intrigued me to try Sproutz. It sounds refreshing, fresh and healthy…almost guilt-free. It was an adventure, and we got to share it with the owner, Don Eller so that made for a great lunch-time experience. The first thing we tried was the Chicken Soup w/ Homemade Matzo [...]

You Say “Spanky’s”, I say “HeHe”… then “Mmmm!”… then “UGGHHH!” I’m gonna go ahead and make the presumption here that this is going to be it’s own series. 1. – Because the entire experience was AWESOME, and 2. – Because it’s about a 3 minute drive from my house (yes, Tulsa Food Guy lives in [...]

Corner Cafe might not be the ideal Valentine’s Day date. however, if you are looking for a bit of an adventure and an awesome chicken fried steak on Tulsa’s stretch of Route 66…this is your spot. For some, walking into Corner Cafe will give you a feeling that will make you want to walk out [...]

Check out this delicious lunch special from Chicory & Chives. This is Cajun grilled shrimp with cheese grits. The shrimp is spicy and tender and the cheese grits are definitely more sophisticated than they seem. Loaded with flavor (and bacon), they are so light and fluffy. The sausage was an unexpected extra and was not [...]

I think it’s about time we got around to Breakfast Deals, Tulsa. Now I’m a huge fan of the American breakfast, but they’re already pretty cheap. So much so that most of the Tulsa restaurants I contacted told me that they are reluctant to discount them any further. But all this week at Tulsa Restaurant [...]

Tulsa is introducing a new concept into a land of burgers, french fries, steaks and milkshakes. Going Raw.  This concept has been sweeping the country for a few years now and has proven to be a healthier alternative to what most people know as “normal” eating. Cooking not only destroys nutrition and enzymes, but when [...]

Sunday Brunch always brings back great memories of family get-togethers and my Dad & Mom in the kitchen making us all something wonderful. My Dad is an expert waffle maker. Needless to say I’m all about brunch and I especially love unique brunch, something different. I was very excited to learn through the Tulsa Food [...]

I am a huge fan of Brunch, so when there’s a restaurant that serves Brunch anytime, I’m there! Kyle Phillips, co-owner of Brookside By Day & BBD II, has opened a new restaurant right across from the TU stadium at 11th & Harvard! Campus Grill serves Breakfast, Lunch, & Dinner! Plus they have daily chef [...]

It’s Saturday, late morning, and we are hungry for a good brunch!  Since weekend day drives are our favorite, we decide to drive around until we see a place that stands out!  Heading down Peoria St., we come across the cutest little bakery/cafe called the Crusty Croissant.  As we walk inside the front door of [...]

Brunch is one of those idealistic meals that I spend the week relishing the thought of. One of the best things about Sunday’s is having an amazing brunch with friends or family. There are so many wonderfully unique brunches around town. Brunch is the one meal a week that you can relax, enjoy the beauty [...]

This homemade ooey-gooey breakfast sandwich exceeds the McGriddle by far!  Cinnamon rolls made into French toast creates the foundation of this unique beauty.  The middle consists of Crisp applewood bacon drizzled in thick maple syrup atop a layer of pecan halves and fresh strawberries.  All ingredients were purchased at Tulsa’s own Reasor’s grocery paradise.  Mmmmmm…. [...]

This Restaurant is closed, but enjoy the review! I just moved to Tulsa from Oklahoma City. Every Sunday in OKC, masses of people head out for what we call “brunch.” True brunch consists of great food and most importantly, MIMOSAS! When I got to Tulsa, I started asking around for the local brunch places and [...]

On a lazy Saturday, a few friends and I decided to try out the new Brookside by Day on the Southside. I had been to the Brookside location awhile back but had not been to this particular location. We were seated really quickly for the time of day. I had the huge breakfast burrito which [...]

I was excited to hear that the Denny’s on the north side has reopened. One north side resident told us that this Denny’s is very important to him and his wife. This was the site of their first date years ago and he still enjoys this Denny’s today because it is nice that he can [...]

Looking for a new place to meet, for a business dinner on Tulsa’s West side, I stumbled upon Ollie’s Station Restaurant. Ollie’s is right by the train yard and located on a corner that has been around since 1894. The entire restaurant is decorated with the railroad theme and there are electric trains that are [...]

Looking for an alternative to the 1-2 hour wait to be seated at a restaurant this Valentine’s Day? Try thinking out of the box, there’s no rule that you have to go to dinner. A nice brunch can be just as enjoyable. The Marriot at Southern Hills has an amazing breakfast buffet that is open [...]

In the mood for some amazing rolls and a fantastic salad I took a friend to Shiloh’s. Located off the BA expressway in Broken Arrow it is a tiny hole-in-the-wall, mom and pop place. The restaurant is nothing much to look at and everything about it is very country. My guest was a little apprehensive, [...]

Chicory & Chives Cafe, located at 3121 Charles Page Blvd, just 2 1/2 miles west of downtown is a real surprise on Tulsa’s west side. Located in the old Ward’s Cafeteria, this non-descript cafe offers one of the best breakfasts in town along with a nice variety of diner favorites. To top it off there [...]

One of the things I love about going home to OK is eating out at restaurants that are different from what we have in Toronto. This trip has been no exception. When my best friend drove up from Norman for the day, I knew we needed to try something totally different. We went for lunch [...]
